THE burial places of the Indians are
in romantic spots. While journeying
through the plains along the Yakima,
one will see apparently scaffolding
dotting hillsides, and upon inquiry
will learn that these are the cities of
the dead, where sleep the sleep that
knows no waking" the braves of the
Indian tribes. On the plains of Ne
braska the same custom is followed
but along the Columbia, some Island
in mid-stream is chosen, and there the
dead are housed. Memalouse Island
is well-known to all residents, and will
live in history as long as any portion
of the country. But every Island is
almost linked with this history of the
silent sleepers of the aboriginal race,
and these spots of the great river of
the west are made sacred by the dead
of generations. The tourist up OF
down the Columbia is constantly
pointed to these weird scenes of NOR.
tai deposits, and romance and poetry
have woven around them a net ol
mystery which will never be explained
In the future these cities of the dead
will always claim attention from
tourist and antiquarian but no wanda
lism should be committed upon the
bones of savage and rapidly disap
pearing race.

Got Rid of the Elephant.

The Alta California says that the
reason for the resignation of Messrs.
c. ii. Prescott and II. S. Rowe, Gener-
al Manger and General Superintendent
of the Oregon Railway and Navigation
Company respectively, was the Mig
gardly policy pursued by Elijah Smith,
President of the company, whose sole
effort for months past has been to
lease the road to the Northern Pacific
for 80 years, with a guaranteed 6 per
cent. interest per annum. To
make as favorable showing as
possible, the service of the road has
been cut down to the lowest notch and
correspondingly crippled. To such an
extreme has this policy been carried
that it is said the roadbed has not been
properly cared for. The magnificent
steamer Alaskan, which cost in the
neighborhood of 100000, has scarcely
turned a wheel since she entered the
Columbia river three years ago, and
has deprecated in value 30 per cent.
simply for lack of proper care. Under
such circumstances it. is not to be Won
dered at that Messrs. Prescott and
Rowe felt that they could not remain
in office and forfeit their well-earned
regulations of skillful and thoroughly
competent railroad managers.
The Oregonian, in noting the con-
clusion of the lease, berates the Oregon
Railway and Navigation Company in
the strongest terms, as an oppressor Of
the country. To force large dividends
on largely watered stock has required
Il grinding, oppressive and narrow pol
icy.

A New Official Test.

When Cleveland took hold of the
ship in Washington he appointed Bill
Hyde postmaster at st. Louis. About
the first act of the new official was to
find out the politics of his subordinates
and this done he began sitting Repub.
licans from Democrats without any re-
gard for the civil service law. Among
the employees who lost their heads was
a good Republican who had been in
the Office ever since the assassination
of President Lincoln. This man
called on Hyde the day after his dis
missal and said:
Mr.. Hyde, received note from
you yesterday in which you say that
my services are nolonger required in
the postofiice."
That's right" replied Hyde in a
harsh voice.
But l want IL reason-I demand
one"
That will do you no good"
Mr.. HYDE said the Republican
lifting his voice to high key in
sist that be given II reason for my
| dismissal"
"Well," replied Hyde, "i if you must
have reason, I'll give you one. The
truth OF the matter is, don't like the
color of your eye-brows."-Chieago

Nearly all of the above articles are
necessaries, in fact, with the exception
of the three last items, they may all
be classed as such. The one hundred
and thirty-five millions which our
tariff laws draw from the people as a
tax on the necessaries are paid for by
poor and rich alike, not, however, in
proportion to wealth, but in proportion
to numbers. The poor laborer with a
family of five children pays three
times as much of this tax as does the
millionaire and his childless wife. The
mOlasses which his children eat, the
cheap clothing which he and they
wear, the iron in his spade, the medi-
cine which they take in time of sick
ness, the leather in their shoes, the
earthenware off which they eat are all
taxed in order that the money may be
piled up in the treasury or be squan-
dered by extravagant law makers.
This tax is just as heavy tax as if it
were paid at the corner grocery where
the goods are bought. If man
should 60 to a store and buy a dollars
worth of sugar and in leaving was
forced to pay the tax collector another
half dollar in addition to what he paid
the store keeper the result would be
just the same as that produced under
the present tariff laws, and yet We are
told that tariff taxes are making the
country prosperous.

sections made by such corporations

retary of the Interior, or unless they

You have thus far taken no action

and authority you have in the prem
ises upon an equitable consideration
with every presumption and intend
ment in favor of the settlers and in
case you find this corporation is en-
titled to select any more of these
lands than it has already acquired,

the land upon which Mr.. Miller has
settled, other land within the limits OF
this indemnity reservation upon which,

HEREAFTER, HOME RULE THE WATCH
WORD FIRST, LAST AND ALL THE
TINE.
WASHINGTON, April 24.-The organ
ization of the proposed committee OF
one hundred in this district is believed
by Democrats here to have a deeper
Significance than the advancement OF
certain local improvements, and is
quoted by leading Democrat from
one OF the Territories here as an evi-
dence of the general feeling of the ne
cessity of self-protection that is pre-
vailing not only in the District of Co
lumbia but in every Territory in the
United States. This Democrat, who
has been a Delegate in Congress from
his Territory, said: at may seem
queer that the people of the Territories
should find it necessary to organize to
protect themselves against the Federal
Government, yet that is just what we
find ourselves compelled to do. Our
Territories have grown so rapidly, our
business interests have reached such
magnitude, that it is of vital interest to
us that our business affairs should be
in the hands of men whose knowledge
of local affairs is absolute, and who
cannot be misled by schemers. We
have not time to whine and say that
We have been betrayed by the Admin
istration, for we readily recognize that
the enunciations of party platforms in
national conventions relative to Terri
toral Offices going to local talent was
but sop thrown to our people to Sc
cure their endorsement, and it would
have required more than good faith on
the part Of President Cleveland to have
carried out such an idea, but the time
has arrived when We can no longer al
low ourselves to be ignored and our
Offices dealt out in payment of party
services to people whose highest idea
OF Territorial life is deerskin leggings,
revolvers, profanity, wooden shirts,
whisky, poker, and swagger, and we
must begin to look out for ourselves
1t was talked over several times among
the Delegates in Congress and leading
Territorial people here last Winter,
and it was unanimously decided that
in both the next national conventions
the Territories would appear in an or
ganized force and demand not alone
promises in the platforms, but pledges
that will involve substantial forfeitures
as well as Presidential honor. We can
get along if Congress will not admit
our Territories, but We cannot allow
another Administration to pursue the
custom of this one, which was as we'll
the custom of those past. 1t is too
late to complain now. of what is being
done, but in the next national conven-
ton you will find our delegates will be
selected from the best business men of
the Territories, backed by influential
coteries who will make themselves of
some value to the man who will pledge
himself to observe Territorial rights in
the distribution of offices; and if the
signs of the times can be read Alright.
not the least in this organized effort
will be leading men of the District of
Columbia

What the Attorney General Says.

WASHINGTON, April 29.-The Gull
ford Miller case made its first appear
ance in the Department of the Interior
while jerks, present Solicitor General,
was Assistant Secretary. Assistant At
torney General Zack Montgomery took
a view of the case much resembling
that set forth by the President in his
letter of yesterday, and wrote deci-
sion accordingly, giving Miller the
land. Mr.. jerks could not indorse
this view, and refused to sign the deci-
sion. Mr.. Montgomery then carried
it to Secretary Lamar, and he asked
both gentlemen to submit their rea-
sons for their views to him in writing.
They did so, and soon after Mr.. Jenk's
resigned. The Secretary, months af-
terward, sent the case to the Attorney
General, who turned it over to Solici-
tor General jerks, and the much
quoted opinion was written by him.
When the opinion reached Secretary
Lamar he told a friend that his own
decision would concur with the opin-
ion of the Attorney General. Indeed,
he said he saw no other course to pur-
sue. The law in the case was laid
down by Congress and it gave the
Northern Pacific road certain rights
which Congress alone could set aside.
In constituting that law the Attorney
General has only followed the Supreme
Court of the United States, and the
Secretary said he would be rash to at
tempt to impair the obligations Of
such contracts as Congress had made
and the Supreme Court of the United
States had sustained as legal, equitable
and constitutional. Speaking yester-
day regarding this case, Attorney
General Garland said: "I am quite
as much in sympathy with Guilford
Miller as any one else is. Ny position
in regard to the matter ought not to
be misunderstood The question SUBJ
mitted to ME was briefly this:
Whether at the commencement of or
at any time during the alleged settle
ment of Miller, and before the selec-
tions made by the railroad company,
the tract referred to was open to home
stead entry. This you will see was
simple proposition. l referred it to
three of my associates, namely, Solici-
tor General jerks, Attorney General
Maury and Mr.. Bentley, law clerk of
the department. All four of us
reached the same conclusion. Now if,
in connection with this, the Secretary
of the Interior had put this question,
Is there any equitable way by which
the railroad can be protected and
Miller secured in his rights of settle
ment? then l should have answered
precisely as the President has; but it
is not my business to make questions.
l am supposed to answer only those
referred for my consideration. Icould
not do otherwise without appearing Of
ficiOus. l may 60 farther than this,
and say that talked with the Presi-
dent about it few days ago and the
argument made by me on that occa-
sion formed the basis OF his letter
which has been given to the public"
